NOTE-Ethlyn Iackson tYuma Highj finished the Iunior College at mid-year. WENTY-THREE Indian young people have been at home' ' at Sherman this year while attending Riverside Iunior College and Riverside Poly- technic High School through assistance of scholarships provided by Uncle Sam. This scholarship takes care of all school expenses such as tuition, books, fees and transportation from Sherman to school. They earn their home at Sher- man by working at special assignments 12 hours each week. Selection of students to enjoy this privilege and honor is made each year by Mrs. Ruth M. Bronson, placement adviser under the U. S. Indian Bu- reau, who pays a visit each year to Sherman and other schools to receive appli- cations and recommendations of worthy students and to make qualification tests. - Riverside Iunior College and High School have always welcomed Indian students from Sherman and in turn these students have entered wholeheartedly into the activities of these schools. For instance this year four Sherman boys were members of the championship Riverside Iunior College football team- Earl Gould, Lewis Iohnson, George Estrada, and Ernest fVIcDonald. Two of the group, Viola hieroney and Eunice Lynn have made the Iunior College honor roll during the 1954-55 school year. Four members of Sherman's Class of'5-1 gradu- ated from Riverside High this year. -Twe11ly-.reve1z- Y'fl1'7 'Tt2 i ' H V T T iv i - I ' . ' e - .1, f.' 'v-J,

Our fathers and mothers were descendants of our race who lived here before Columbus came from Spain. ' They all lived the wild, free life, close to nature and roamed the mountains and valleys. But the time has come when we must become educated and live working on farms and at trades and settle down in homes for ourselves. I am proud that I am an Indian, but I am prouder yet that you and I can become educated Indians. Sher- man proves that education is all We need to make us a strong and happy people. We must be good American citizens. Uur superintendent and teachers deserve our thanks for all they have done for us. We will not forget them. Sherman is our mother. Let us always be glad that we came to Sherman. She has done much for us and will do more and more for our people. --T weniyezyhzf-
